　　In this powerful, exquisitely crafted book, Kyoko Mori delves

into her dual heritage with a rare honesty that is both graceful

and stirring. From her unhappy childhood in Japan, weighted by a

troubled family and a constricting culture, to the American

Midwest, where she found herself free to speak as a strong-minded

independent woman, though still an outsider, Mori explores the

different codes of silence, deference, and expression that govern

Japanese and American women's lives: the ties that bind us to

family and the lies that keep us apart; the rituals of mourning

that give us the courage to accept death; the images of the body

that make sex seem foreign to Japanese women and second nature to

Americans. In the sensitive hands of this compelling writer, one

woman's life becomes the mirror of two profoundly different

societies.

媒体评论

　　A small universe of memory and reflection, analysis and

synthesis, presented with an artist's touch.

　　--The Boston Sunday Globe

　　"A BEAUTIFUL BOOK . . . Her prose has the deceptive simplicity

of a Japanese garden. By itself, each element seems to be plain and

unadorned, but, in combination, the effect is stunning."

　　--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

　　Kyoko Mori is "uniquely qualified to write at an intersection

many have visited but few have truly understood."

　　--The Washington Post Book World -- Review
